How do you convert a straight line into a curve?

I like to be able to convert a straight line into a curve in Glyphs. Is that possible?

Also, if there is an option to also change the point into a half-curve that would be ideal.

Hold down the option key and click the line with the select tool.

Thanks a lot, didn’t see that info anywhere.

And I also just found out that double-clicking on a point with a curve makes it into an ‘angleless’ curve.

Happy holidays!
